We have an amazing venue with an optimal downtown location and a delicious menu built from scratch & designed to perfectly complement the Biers in our BIN. With more than 150 Biers from over 30 countries, our Bier curators will take you on a guided journey ensuring each dish reflects and harmonizes with the Brewers’ work of art.
The Bier Markt Ottawa is located in downtown Ottawa on Sparks street, with just a four-minute walk away from Parliament Hill. Sparks Street is a lively attraction in itself with a linear “town square” feel, historical architecture, and various shops with unique items that you will not find anywhere else in Ottawa.
At Bier Markt Ottawa we have a variety of wonderful group menu offerings that are sure to suit any groups interest, whether it be a few plates of shareables or a more formal evening with a sit down three course set menu. We have it all.
No matter what your vision or group size, we have concepts that can surely exceed your expectations.
I am looking forward to working with you!
